Re: Need suggestions on how to reduce my AHI

You know maybe a good chunk of the AHI you see is from awake/arousal breathing false positives. You might want to take the time to learn how to distinguish between asleep breathing flagged events and awake/arousal breathing flagged events. Watch all the videos here. http://freecpapadvice.com/sleepy...

Re: Need suggestions on how to reduce my AHI

Yes I have a nasal mask, which I used when I first got cpap, however I believe I’m a mouth breather.

Re: Need suggestions on how to reduce my AHI

Thanks.

I was quite surprised how I managed to cope with 6 pressure, I figured it must be ok off the bat? But as I say it hasn’t improved my ahi.

Re: Need suggestions on how to reduce my AHI

I tried it at 6.5 but I woke up during the night feeling really full of air and had to turn it back to 6. Ahi was 6.1 this morning 🙁

Any thoughts?

It seems to be getting worse not better 🙁

Re: Need suggestions on how to reduce my AHI

I’m not sure, I don’t normally sleep on my back.

Thanks so much.

Re: Need suggestions on how to reduce my AHI

No I don’t think I was awake at 5:45.

I think I did wake during the night briefly possibly around 2am.

As I say when I woke up, I felt like there may have been air leaks, the mask seemed noisier than usual.

Thanks.

Re: Need suggestions on how to reduce my AHI

One thing I forgot to mention I also use a mouthpiece. I keep notes on the amount of turns I’ve made, I’ve just seen that I had the same problem in May, anyway trying more turns aka jaw further apart. I’ve found the mouth piece has always helped to reduce AHI. Do you think higher minimum pressure mi...

Re: Need suggestions on how to reduce my AHI

Thanks.

However I’ve tried increasing, but even at 4.5 it always wakes me up around 2am.

I’ve also tried higher.

I don’t quite understand why I wake up.

I’ve tried several times.

Need suggestions on how to reduce my AHI

Hi, My AHI has increased over the past several weeks, although last week it was fine, I've really no idea why. I do feel more tired at the end of the day. I know AHI isn't a great indicator, but it seems to match how I feel that day. I thought the differences may be due to weight gain, but I've lost...
